To all /wm/n t may conca/rn:

`Be it known that ll., `Jobin Il. Aoiiiwro, n. citizen of the United States.v uml u resirlont oflEliznheth, in the County oil Union und State of New Jersey, have inventori certain new and usefulv Improvements in iins-lurn ors, of which the followingr is si specification.

This invention relates to gas burners adapted for general use. :nul especially adapted for various usm-s in which :i high temperature is necessary or desirable, as in mantle vlamps and in various types of heuters, oven und furnaces, and the objects oi the invention are to provide :i simpie, ilurnhle und inexpensive burner which will produce complete combustion of the' gas used, in which the parts will not become unduly heated, :in which there will be .no suction on the burner orifices :unl consequently `the mixture of ges and air in the mining eiuuubei.' will remain unehimgefl und fimininea back of the flame Will be prevented, :nul which will develop a maximum temperuture with a. minimum amount of cross sectional iii-ee..

VYWith these ends in. View the invention eon sists in certain constructions end in certain parts, improvements .und eomiiinetions which will. be hereinafter tleserihml and then specifically pointed out in the claims hereunto appended.
